A strange piece of information has emerged regarding Hale Nur Özen, who is said to have provided "witchcraft and sorcery" training to Ece Gürel, who was found four days after going missing in the Belgrad Forest in Istanbul and later died in the hospital. During the days when Gürel was lost and being searched for, Özen threatened her students, and a video has surfaced in which she connects the young woman's disappearance to the planet Mars.
Ece Gürel, a 36-year-old woman who got lost in Belgrad Forest in Istanbul, was found by search and rescue teams four days later in a steep wooded area. Landscape architect Gürel, who was determined to have suffered from hypothermia, was taken to a private hospital in Maslak by ambulance after the team's first intervention. Ece Gürel, who was placed in intensive care, passed away two days later.
The young woman is known to have an interest in mysterious numbers, fortune-telling, and lead casting, and she took lessons from Hale Nur Özen. Hale Nur Özen, who is alleged to have provided "witchcraft and sorcery" training to Ece Gürel, was detained by police teams on the orders of the Bursa Chief Public Prosecutor's Office on charges of "providing false information to the public with the intent to create concern, fear, or panic among the public regarding the country's internal and external security, public order, and general health, and qualified fraud." After a health report was taken at the hospital yesterday, Özen was referred to the courthouse. Appearing before the judge at the Duty Peace Criminal Court, Özen was released under judicial control.
THREATENED THE PRESS
Özen made a post on social media, not mentioning the travel ban against her, and only stated that she was released as a result of her "statement." Although Özen was accused of providing misleading information to the public, she claimed that others were providing misleading information and stated that she would take legal action against those who "deliberately provided misleading information to the public by creating fabricated scenarios about her."
WARNED HER STUDENTS ABOUT ECE
Özen also provides training in "witchcraft," and Gürel was one of her many students. While Gürel was missing, Özen shared a video on her social media account, explaining that Gürel attended her classes. At the time Özen recorded this video, Gürel had been missing for three days. In the video, Özen was speaking online with her students. Although the purpose of the video seemed to be to inform students about Ece Gürel, its actual aim was to silence the students, prevent them from providing information to the press, and to intimidate them by emphasizing some of her own characteristics. Özen initially told her students that she was also a "media person," meaning she had worked as a journalist at one time.
"OUR RELATIONSHIP WILL BE RUINED WITH ANYONE WHO SHARES ECE'S STAR CHART"
Özen, who stated that she had been with Ece for 1-2 years, eventually brings the topic to Ece's disappearance. While discussing this issue, Özen mentions that she has Ece's natal (star) chart and says: "We have Ece's natal chart information, today 10 astrologer friends requested it, but we do not share it, we will not share it, if any of my students share it, their relationship with me will be ruined."
Özen actually wants to generally direct her students not to provide information about Ece. She even reprimands a student who joined the conversation via video for asking questions and even removes them from the group.
"YOU WILL GET INTO BIG TROUBLE"
Implying that she reached findings regarding Ece's disappearance by looking at her star chart, Özen later intensifies her warning: "We will not share any special information. Each of our students has natal information, we will get into big trouble. Both the person receiving and the person providing will get into trouble, I will follow up."
"MARS HAS DISTORTED ITS DIRECTION"
Özen, who claims to have "strong analyses" regarding Ece's disappearance, shares her knowledge as follows:
"We have strong analyses, we do not publish them, we do not even publish them just because we know. The only thing I know is that we looked at the chart of the moment of disappearance, we looked at Ece's chart, there is a degree, the degree I am talking about is only related to astrolomy, compiled at the end of 6 years of work. The degree of Mars is a misdirection, redirecting to another direction. The astrolomy chart we know has such a significant misdirection that the only thing I can say is this."
